NBA player Reggie Evans: ‘I miss Seattle’

Toronto Raptors forward Reggie Evans was in Vancouver this week, training with the NBA team for the upcoming season. Evans still misses Seattle, where he played for the Sonics from 2002-2006.

“The fans were cool. The city was nice. The city was real clean. They gave me an opportunity. God, I just miss a lot of stuff about Seattle,” Evans told the Montreal Gazette. “The nightlife was cool. My teammates were real good…Hell, yeah, I miss Seattle. I’ve been thinking about that a lot, like damn, I wish Seattle had a team. I hope and pray to God Seattle can get a team.”

The Sonics left Seattle in 2008 when owner Clay Bennett moved the team to Okahoma City, where they became the Thunder.
